Jin Fuyun knelt for a long time until Jin Mo came to invite him.
She stood up again, straightened her back, and said, "It's only dawn now—"
"Miss, the general has been waiting for a long time."
Although going to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is not a dead end, it is more difficult than a dead end. Jin Fuyun stood in front of her mother's coffin and thought to herself, mother, don't worry, your daughter will not let any of those adulterers who plotted against her and got you killed early go.
She held her head high, supported Shi Niang, and limped out of the mourning hall with Jin Mo.
It was not until her figure disappeared from everyone's sight that a voice suddenly appeared in the quiet courtyard. Jin San's mother Zhao suddenly muttered, "At this moment, she looks more energetic than your sister-in-law."
Jiang helped Jin Qi out and said, "Aunt, the date hasn't been set yet, why are you here?"
She was crying so hard just now that the women from the Jin family came in but did not dare to disturb her.
Before I could say hello, Jin Fuyun arrived.
Zhao held Jiang's hand, a sad expression on her face, and sighed, "We should have come to visit the princess's sister-in-law some time ago, but the date has not been set. If it hadn't been for good luck, we wouldn't have dared to come."
Of course, this is only one of the reasons. The most important thing is that the Jin family is too busy to take care of themselves.
During the twelfth lunar month, two or three marriages of the Jin family's brothers and sisters fell through.
As for the promised daughter-in-law, the other party returned the betrothal gifts with the betrothal gifts, and as for the daughter who was engaged to someone else, the other party even sent back the engagement letter.
People from other branches of the Jin family have always had the reputation of being a great general's family. If you ask them about tangible benefits, it would be a lie to say there are none. If you say there are... they are not many.
The son of the Jin family...
What a good-for-nothing!
They were neither good at civil nor military affairs. A few of them reluctantly joined the general's army, but they could only become low-level military officers. As for rising further, even if Jin Meng held on, they were just like his own son, a piece of mud that could not be helped.
The fact that the Jin family failed to become prosperous by relying on Jin Meng has already made many members of the family feel indignant.
But now, because of the ugly things done by Jin Fuyun, her sisters and brothers were implicated, and the relatives almost demolished the princess's villa.
If Princess Hong'an had not died to atone for her crime, this matter would certainly not have ended.
Therefore, the members of the Jin family who were supposed to come to the coffin and mourn pretended to be deaf and dumb until Jin Meng came to Beijing. Then everyone came to their senses and thought, after all, the Jin family still had to rely on Jin Meng, so they sent the women to the coffin, to cry a few times, whether it was fake or sincere.
Before coming, Zhao came with speculation. She thought Jin Fuyun was afraid that life would be worse than death and would regret it.
Although this little bitch had never made mistakes in etiquette in front of her aunt, her condescending attitude made Zhao unhappy.
Later, with the help of Princess Hong'an, the third girl born to her family became the tutor of the third princess Liu Rong.
She thought she could earn some respectability, but who could have expected that because of a small mistake she was sent out of the palace and hurriedly married.
I felt unwilling at first, but now I am very grateful.
According to the reputation of the Jin family today, it is impossible for his third daughter to marry into such a family. Although they live in another place, it is still considered a good match.
Zhao heaved a sigh of relief and rushed to the princess's villa before dawn with her daughter-in-law and sisters-in-law.
As expected, she saw Jin Fuyun, but her attitude was still aloof and arrogant. Zhao was unhappy and pulled Jiang to talk about it. Jiang shook her head and said, "Sister, you have a strong character. You are sad to lose your mother, but it was mother who earned her life after all. No matter how much you abuse her, you will never dare to commit suicide."
I bother!
When the sisters-in-law heard this, they thought, what's the point of keeping such a whore alive?
for what?
I went from house to house to apologize!
When they arrived at the mansion, Pei Hai was already waiting at the gate. When he saw the general's carriage approaching, he immediately opened the door and went out to greet him.
"General, it is Pei Hai's fault that I have not paid my respects to you in some years."
Jin Mo also helped Jin Meng get out of the car. Seeing Pei Hai coming up to him to pay his respects, he held Pei Hai's arms with his hands. "Da Hai, your family is in misfortune and has caused trouble for you. I feel deeply ashamed for coming to your house today!"
They are all old friends.
Pei Hai sighed, "We are all young people, not sensible. Maybe they were just playing around, but they lost their sense of propriety, which caused the general and the master so much trouble."
Jin Meng looked at the honest and solid old face and her face flushed slightly.
"It is my fault for not bringing her up properly. My wife passed away, and this rebellious girl was in mourning. It was really rude of me to come to your house without permission. The sin is too great. If I don't apologize in person to you, I will be very anxious and worried."
Pei Hai looked at Jin Meng, who was wearing a black brocade robe and not wearing many ornaments, but looked very solemn.
"General, we are old friends, there is no need to be polite. Yesterday, the Lord instructed his subordinates to wait for you early, saying that you are a very polite person. I am afraid you will come to the Lord's Mansion before dawn. Alas, please come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Yunfan and Jin Fuyun also got off the carriage at the back and walked behind Jin Meng, not daring to say anything more.
Pei Hai looked over. To be honest, this was the first time he met this young lady after the incident.
She looks like an ordinary unmarried girl, how could she be so vicious?
Now, she stands weakly behind the general, with her head lowered and brows drooped, looking very well-behaved. Actually, she is a ruthless character who should not be underestimated.
That's it!
Pei Hai followed etiquette and personally welcomed Jin Meng and his party inside. When they were about to reach Zhengxian Pavilion, Pei Chen, also wearing a thick brocade robe, came towards them.
"Uncle, I, Pei Chen, greet you."
"My dear nephew, please excuse me. I am truly ashamed to bother you so early in the morning."
Pei Chen had apologized several times after entering the house not long ago. He bowed and said, "Uncle, you are too polite. The eldest lady made a mistake occasionally. It was originally a misunderstanding between the sisters. But the matter has become a big deal. If you can come to my humble abode to explain it clearly, it will also avoid any estrangement between the two families."
Who doesn’t know how to say polite words?
The weather was cold, and the wind was howling, blowing the corners of everyone's long robes up. The chill ran towards the warm place without any mercy.
Freezing!
Logically speaking, Jin Fuyun and Jin Yunfan were in mourning and were not allowed to enter the mansion. However, the other party was carrying valuable gifts and was also particular about it, with the boxes and chests all tied with red.
Therefore, I was able to get in.
Aru was the first to know about the movement at the gatehouse. He took a secret look and then returned to Shaohuayuan to report the news.
"Young Madam, here she comes!"
Song Guanzhou was counting on the abacus, and waited until he finished counting before looking up, "The Jin family is here?"
"Ok!"
A'lu nodded heavily. Rendong and a few maids rushed into the study room after hearing the noise. "Jin Fuyun is here too?"
"Here he is, holding a woman, limping, but he is wearing a snow hat that covers half of his face, so I couldn't see him clearly."
"He's here?"
Song Guanzhou put down his pen and ink, "What do you think?"
"Young Madam, the girl is limping when she walks. It must be because her injuries from falling into the water last time have not healed. But—"
Alu was indignant, "Other than that, she seems to be quite energetic in my opinion!"
